how cute. I would have left a little more on top.
But I do like the nice close crop otherwise, it makes for an intimate portrait.

Cute kid, wonderful expression. Maybe a little more contrast. Are her eyes two different colors? Good shot.

I see the silent morality squadron has rightfully and properly sanctioned such a disgraceful and inappropriate idea.
Great composition and great use of an unusual decor for this type of shot.

I have no idea what your level of French is, so you may yet know this:
�toilette� (singular) always refers to body cleansing;
�toilettes� (plural) refers to the room the Americans �rest� in, and to the actual ceramic contraption as well.

Very simple - but there lacks depth in the middle of the eyes. Where is the ultra-clarity of th eyes? It's a great shot - but for me, the magic of a portrait is in the eye - and there isn't enough of the eyes to see in this one!

Good idea, good lighting, the composition is just a bit plain for my taste (6)

Comment by brianlh:
in light of the last challenge - some soft focus here might have helped.. a little too much detail in the skin for me.

Nice lighting for the presentation of shape! Creates a very strong visual appeal. The "fade to black" use of negative space is very nice, and the composition has a great "flow" to it that carries the eye throughout the shot.

What a great curve and I love the way it's an abstract composition (with two curved "halves" but also a recognisable object. I like how we can see the texture of the skin and hair and also how the shadow at the right contributes to the abstract shapes. There seems to be a yellow tinge, running parallel to the "edge" of the body, a little way in.
